In Paul and The Restoration of Humanity in Light of Ancient Jewish Traditions,
Aaron Sherwood questions the assumption of universalism in Pauline
thought, and finds instead that relevant Pauline traditions depict a
partly restricted and particularly Israelite restoration of humanity.
This important Jewish component of Paul’s thought remains largely
unrecognized, but Pauline and other ancient Jewish traditions
consistently present Israel and non-Israelites' uniting in their worship
of Yhwh as the restoration of both Israel and humanity.

Aaron Sherwood demonstrates in Pauline traditions the same deployment of
Israel-nations unification as in biblical and post-biblical traditions.
This suggests that rather than secondarily finding space for Gentile
justification, the restoration of humanity plays a generative role in
Paul’s theology, mission, and apostolic self-identity.
